Hi LG, I’m so sorry to hear that you are feeling such a lot of pain. I know what it is like to feel so intensely attached and to have to terminate, and it’s a really bad place to be. It’s as if your whole body aches.
I am finding a bit of respite at the moment, I don’t quite know for how long (it’s been three days, so I am not exactly an expert). I had to vent all my feelings first though, even though I knew intellectually that I was projecting a lot of my own childhood issues onto the situation. I eventually dreamed of a more positive, gentler way to handle things, and it has seemed easier since then. Unfortunately that won’t help you at all – dreams come by themselves. Just try and be gentle with yourself – if you need to spend all day in bed, do so but don’t punish yourself for it. It’s actually ok.
A warm hug
VWoolf
